Saliva Testing in Pinehurst

Is your mouth putting your body at risk?

As Moore County's first dental office to introduce Direct Diagnostics® HR5 Saliva Test, we strive to prevent systemic disease before the onset infection and symptoms arise. Evidence shows that 5 high risk oral pathogens are causative markers of inflammation and disease linked to bone loss, gum loss, heart attacks and stroke, Alzheimer's Disease, adverse pregnancy outcomes, Diabetes, cancer, and premature death.

Why Test?

HR5 testing is a scientifically proven focused, accurate and affordable means to help identify low grade infections long before they present with visual symptoms. Best part? It can easily be performed as part of your routine dental appointment.

Scientific evidence has shown that the five bacterial pathogens detected through HR5 Saliva Testing are the most critical and highest risk for infection, inflammation, implant failure and oral cavity damage. At Smiles in the Pines, we strive to prevent the need for aggressive and expansive periodontal and surgical treatments.

The first step in prevention is screening. If you're in Pinehurst or surrounding areas, please call our office at 910-240-2922 to get more information about Saliva Testing in Pinehurst.
